Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Ben Franklin If you love dance you will love this film. If you don't like dance then the chances are you're unlikely to pick a movie called 'Any Body Can Dance'.Lots of dance movies such as Flashdance and Dirty Dancing are, to a greater or lesser degree, feelgood films, and this is no exception.The story is pretty typical. I won't go into any detail here as I don't want to spoil it for those who have not seen the film yet. However, by typical I do not mean it is bad in any way. It definitely isn't. By typical I pretty much mean it is the kind of story I want from this kind of movie. It is a formula that works, and the way the story unfolds in this movie is both satisfying and entertaining.There is some great cinematography ranging from the way some of the dance scenes are shot through to great skyline shots and just a general attention to detail when it comes to camera angles and visuals that work well.I felt the acting was excellent and everyone played their parts superbly.But for me, the highlight of the movie was the dancing - and that is how it should be. It was vibrant, exciting, colorful, sexy, and superbly choreographed. If there's one thing a Bollywood film should be able to do well it is a large scale dance scene, and ABCD certainly doesn't disappoint in any way.All in all a great movie that will prove a hit with anyone who loves a feelgood movie filled with dancing. It scores a well deserved 8/10 on both counts.

Anjali Singh You have dance in the movie but there is no story. A good dance can be accompanied with the better flow to make the movie memorable. In terms of acting the supporting actor has done a better job as compared to the main cast. Instead of randomly putting a dance in the movie it should be combined with suitable succeeding scene. The story which is been decided for prabhu deva does not fit in. As the way it is been shown is shrewd way but at the end his motives were nothing to do with the stealing of money. Abetter direction is needed the movie is elongated in the unnecessary way.Overall to see the various dance steps anyway you-tube videos are available

sshogben For a nation whose film industries have traditionally thrived on lush use of dance in its cinema, it is honestly shocking how so few of India's movies focus directly ON dance. All too often, a choreographer's duty is to distract the audience from the fact that a movie's lead actor or actress cannot actually dance. Even when a lead actor can dance well, backup dancers are usually there just to provide colour and fill out the screen. The dancers are always there, but we do not 'see' them.Thus "ABCD Any Body Can Dance" arrives like a breath of fresh air!Here dance and dancers take centre stage – not just as magic elements in and of themselves, but as a celebration of the power of art and dance to draw people together and transform lives.Vishnu (Prabhu Deva), the longtime choreographer of India's most successful professional dance group, gets cashiered by his ambitious and domineering partner Jehangir (Kay Kay Menon). Vishnu's career seems over. He feels like giving up. But on his way out of town, he spends a few last days with an old friend, Gopi (Ganesh Acharya), a retired dancer who ekes out a small living teaching dance in a not-very-fancy neighbourhood. Through Gopi, Vishnu becomes impressed with the sheer raw talent he observes among an assortment of apparently dead-end street kids whose lives are limited by their inability to get along with each other, their parents, or anyone else. He volunteers to teach these kids dance for free, determined to change their lives through imparting Discipline, Attitude, New(ness), Confidence, and Expression. In the process, Vishnu manages to rebuild not just his own life and those of his students, but even his old friend and later nemesis Jehangir.Some of India's greatest living dance choreographers came together to make this film happen.Prabhu Deva himself, of course, is not only a celebrated choreographer (for instance, the National Award winning 'Main Aisa Kyon Hoon' straightjacket dance from "Lakshya" (2004)) and commercially successful director (such as "Wanted" (2009) and "Rowdy Rathore" (2012)) but also probably India's best pure dancer.(My biggest gripe? Tamil native Prabhu Deva's voice is badly dubbed, in a heavy baritone that suits neither this character nor his own personality.)"ABCD …" is directed by famous choreographer Remo D'Souza, who also wrote the story.Ganesh Acharya is so sincere and charming as Gopi in this, his acting debut, that he almost steals the movie. (The elephantine but surprisingly-light-on-his-feet Mr Acharya, despite his bulk, is best known for choreographing sexy item numbers such as 'Sheila' in "Tees Maar Khan" (2010) or 'Chikni Chameli' in the 2012 "Agneepath".)India's all-time most honoured choreographer – the legendary Saroj Khan herself – dances a cameo over the end credits with Mssrs Remo, Acharya, and Prabhu Deva. Terrence Lewis and Shiamak Davar also contributed to "ABCD …" and are thanked in the opening credits.

Richard Greco As a avid fan of the Step Up series, I am open to watching dance movies and I am adjusted to the plot hole issue. In dance movies there is always something that doesn't add up. I agree that even Step Up series has its own set of problems but I should mention that ABCD did try their best.If you just judge this movie based on the music, dance routine and overall look, it will be awesome, simply one of the best from Indian Cinema but if you add the other factors it just goes down.But then again, their is still hope for future movies. Also, I did watch Special 26 it was great. But it doesn't have the unity factor that this movie aims to highlight and showcase.
